Le Petit Pali at 8th Ave

The staff was exceptional/ every single one we encountered The bed was comfortable

Close to town, easy walk to all the restaurants, shops and beach. Cute esthetic, but you can tell it’s an older hotel that was remodeled. Walls are very thin, and not a lot of ventilation in rooms. There is a sister property down the street where they share happy hour times with. Honestly, this place definitely over sells their amenities. Happy hour was very minimal with one night being soggy croutons and only wine for purchase. They provided 2 complimentary glass bottles and then only had others for purchase for $13 and no water filter to use on property. Really a 3 star stay at best.

This is my second time staying here. Love the location and all the little amenities.

The breakfast was fabulous and the location was perfect.

Attention to detail in curating the space and breakfast food local choices are delish

The whole staff at Le Petit Pali helped make our anniversary weekend special & memorable! We are definitely planning to be back in the future.

High quality hotel that delivers what it says. Great and helpful staff. The quality of the rooms were excellent, clean and to a high standard.

Ideally situated for exploring on foot, the hotel offers the added convenience of unrestricted parking right out front, so you won't need to worry about moving your vehicle. Loved the hotel small footprint, the property boasts a quaint and inviting lobby area with comfortable couches and a lovely fire. Guests can also enjoy a nice breakfast selection, and the staff was attentive and friendly. Plus, it's a dog-friendly establishment with dog treats etc.

Very good looking place with great decor, breakfast, and kind staff

Carmel on Sea is a hidden gem and a beautiful place to visit for great coastal walks, exceptional restaurants and high end shopping facilities.

We stayed at Petit Pali from Thursday night through Sunday morning as a couples’ getaway, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, charming, and relaxing—exactly what you hope for in Carmel.

The location is fantastic: quiet and tucked away, yet still close enough to enjoy everything downtown Carmel has to offer. We loved being able to walk into town for dinners and strolls while still returning to such a peaceful retreat.

Our room was beautifully decorated, incredibly cozy, and spotlessly clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the thoughtful little touches throughout the room made it feel special rather than generic. It felt intimate and upscale without being stuffy.

The staff were another highlight—genuinely kind, attentive, and always willing to help with recommendations and anything we needed during our stay. It really added to the overall experience.

Petit Pali was the perfect backdrop for a weekend, and we left already talking about when we can return. I would highly recommend this hotel to couples looking for a charming, relaxing stay in Carmel.

Our stay at Le Petit Pali was nothing short of magical. The property is absolutely stunning, so cozy, and every single detail feels thoughtfully curated with real intention. From the luxe shampoo and toothpaste to the butter at breakfast, everything was the finest quality and made the experience feel truly special.

The rooms were beyond adorable and beautifully designed. Every detail felt charming, comfortable, and thoughtfully chosen.

The staff was incredibly attentive, warm, and genuinely kind. Breakfast each morning was delicious and such a highlight. Our favorite moments were spent gathered around the fire with friends, playing games and sipping wine. It felt intimate, relaxed, and unforgettable.

They are also incredibly dog friendly. Our dog had the best time and felt just as welcome as we did. And the location is unbeatable. You are right in the heart of Carmel with everything at your fingertips.

This stay truly elevated our entire trip and created memories we will cherish forever. We cannot wait to come back.

A perfect weekend away! We had the best time in Carmel, we could walk to the beach, to restaurants and spent a lot of time in front of the fire at the hotel! Thank you to all the hotel staff who made our stay so special, and for the dogs!

Amazing location, a block and a half off Ocean Ave in the heart of romantic Carmel-by-the-Sea. The vibes were perfect for our honeymoon, and the decor in the lobby and rooms was perfect! Front desk service and the champagne continental breakfast were excellent. We hit up Rise + Roam on the way home on our last day, since we loved their pastries so much. Also, cookie deliveries every evening at 6pm straight to your room!!! The property felt quiet and secluded, yet right next to the heart of Carmel. Parking can be a challenge if it's super crowded, but there's plenty of street parking in the surrounding blocks. It's worth it for the location. You can walk in 5 minutes to all the best restaurants, art galleries, shops, etc.

Breakfast was perfect in a very cozy room served with champagne.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming happy to get you what you need.

Beautifully staged rooms, cozy atmosphere throughout the property, immense attention to detail. Loved staying at our suite.
